Un-keeping (For Drabble Challenge 15: Honesty/Dishonesty)

Title: Un-keeping
Author: kallistei
Word count: 100
Concrit?: Always.
Character: Junsu
Summary: The hardest lesson he's learned.


It takes Junsu years to start sharing things with the others, not just bits and pieces pried out of him when he can't hold them in any more, but everything he feels. He's too used to hiding things, keeping things to himself, pretending. (Jokes, charisma, that laugh, keeping himself busy with practices and games and even sometimes the newspaper - they're all masks in their own way.)

The most difficult truth he's ever told is and always will be when he looks up at Yunho's question, or Jaejoong's - now and then Yoochun's or Changmin's - and says, "No, not fine actually. Help me?"

"No, not fine actually. Help me?"
and finally, he shares his heart. ♥

Takes him a while, but he gets there in the end. :)

Thank you!

[sleepish.livejournal.com]

junsu opening up! ♥

[kallistei.livejournal.com]

Deserving of hearts, yes. ♥

He wears such a convincing professional mask of harmless and cute (or "I am sex"), but you can definitely tell the others have started to worm their way in, or pry him out. Poor baby boy(s). I'm very glad they have each other.

[kallistei.livejournal.com]

They are good for each other. :)

This made me smile. Oh, Junsu. :) ♥

[kallistei.livejournal.com]

Oh... my...

This is almost exactly how I imagine 'Su to really be, and you've so poignantly described him. I'm... stunned. <333

Brilliant job.

Thank you very much! :)

This was beautiful. It hit home really hard for me and for him, I'm sure...

The depth of this is inconceivable. Amazing piece, Shay! :]

Thank you!

*sigh* we all feel like this sometimes... he deserves to be listened to.
i hope the laugh is occasionally just the expression of happiness tho, rather than continually repression!

sankyuuu
